The Barbara Bates Foundation

The Barbara Bates Foundation, a 501 (c)(3) non-profit charity, actively seeks outstanding high school students to reward their spirit of persistence, excellence and commitment to education.

Because they inspire us, we applaud and acknowledge their determination by providing free prom attire to a select group of students in need.  In the past ten years, we’ve outfitted more than 500 students in custom gowns and tuxedos.

In this 11th anniversary year, we’re honored to again offer the gift of prom apparel to the Class of 2010.

We need your help.
